No visit to Ipoh would be complete without seeing one of its many Chinese / Buddhist cave temples. Unfortunately, this temple had closed for the day by the time I arrived that evening.
The Perak is a sacred lineage written in stone, unique to the high winds of Ladakh and the remote, snow-bound valleys of Zanskar. Shaped like a cobra’s hood for spiritual protection, this heirloom cascades with turquoise passed from mother to daughter through centuries. Each row of stone signifies a generation of women, an unbroken chain of heritage where the number of rows reflects the family’s social standing and history.

Perak Cave, Ipoh, Perak, Malaysia
Perak Tong Cave Temple is one of the oldest and most beautifully preserved temples in Ipoh. Within the huge limestone caves of Gunung Tasik, this temple was built in 1926 by Buddhist priests from China.
The temple houses over 40 Buddha statues with the centre-piece being a 12.8 metre high sitting Buddha. The cave sits at the foot of a 120m high limestone outcrop – one of several hills in the area – behind a simple but pretty garden, decorated with lotus ponds, pavilions, pagodas and two bell towers.
Spent a lonely night here next to the river bank not knowing how the scene will look like until the Sun rose thus revealing what lies infront of me. It was a pleasant surprise for a 1st timer here.

Water Source : Stream
Waterfall Profile : Near Vertical Falls
Accessibility : From carpark
he easiest way to reach the Hutan Lipur Sg Salu, is from Gopeng. Just follow the trunk road nr 1 in the direction of Kampar. After a few km you will reach a junction where you take road A119 to Cenderiang and the Kinjang falls. Soon you will see the signboard for the Salu park at your right side. On a weekday you will probably the only visitor.
A cemented path follows the stream, you cross a bridge, pas a few small waterfalls and cascades. Soon you will reach the first Salu fall. A nice fall, not spectacular, with a shallow wading pool. When you continue the trail, you will reach, after some scrambling, the upper Salu fall.

Though small compared with the #Danube, the #Malaysian river shares much with the Danube; both rivers are rich in culture and history, both supply water for life and living, and both face issues of equity, floods, water quality and environment.
Sungai Perak is the River of Life' for #Perak State in #Malaysia. It flows over 400 km in a 15,000 km2 catchment that covers 70% of the state lands. The second longest river in Peninsular Malaysia, it starts from the north-western corner of the state, flows south to Teluk Intan, where it bends westward and into the Straits of Malacca. The river divides the state into two nearly equal halves and thus forms its natural backbone. And this river of life is special in many ways.
History recorded that whoever controls #SungaiPerak has authority over the state. This adage still holds true and His Majesty the Sultan of Perak still resides in the Royal Town of #KualaKangsar on the bank of the river. This river is central to the history and traditions of Perak Sultanate and the people; its waters are part of royal ceremonies including the investiture of a new Sultan.
The famous #RoyalBelum is a 110,000 ha tropical forest reserve rich in biodiversity. Elephants and tigers still roam freely here. A river terrapin conservatory established in 1960 at Bota Kanan, remains one of few of its kind in the world. The lakes in the upper stretches are simply beautiful. Quaint traditional kampungs (villages) still exists between modern towns including Teluk Intan with its own 'Leaning Tower'.
For all its special qualities, Sungai Perak still needs 'something special' to survive in a rapidly changing economy. Sungai Perak needs good care to remain special forever, for future generations. Otherwise, as in many rivers, it will deteriorate gradually, unnoticed, until in a critical state.
Just 10 miles south of Pulau Pangkor lies a cluster of nine islands called Pulau Sembilan: Pulau Agas, Pulau Payong, Pulau Nipis, Pulau Rumbia, Pulau Lalang, Pulau Saga, Pulau Buluh, Black Rock and White Rock.
Secluded and uninhabited, they are popular with campers during weekends and public holidays, especially from November to March. The favourite of the nine is Pulau Lalang, which has a refreshing clear stream and soft sandy beach ideal for camping.
For snorkelling and diving, the channel between Pulau Rumbia and Pulau Lalang is especially excellent. Just 15 metres deep, its sandy bottom is embellished with a myriad of colourful corals. Among the many exotic marine life found here are groupers, snappers and barracudas.
Another great site is the channel between Pulau Buluh and Pulau Saga, which is named 'Grouper Country' by local fishermen. Strewn with big boulders, green tree coral can be found at a depth of 10m. In the waters on the eastern side of Pulau Buluh, there are small rocks, hard corals and coral fish.
Also recommended is White Rock, where jacks and barracudas are commonly sighted. In the crevices of the coral and rocky substrate, many large groupers and snappers are frequently spotted.
